Starting in September of 2007, I joined the "Body Transformation Challenge" at the Metamorphosis Studio in High Bridge, NJ. The Metamorphosis Studio is owned by Danielle Fryer, a Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer par excellance. After 12 weeks, I lost 11.1 pounds of body fat, and 25 inches, including losing four inches from my waistline. I think you'll agree that the "before" and "after" pictures below are striking! I feel much stronger and have increased my stamina and cardiovascular fitness tremendously. Also, with a little help from Vytorin, Schering Plough's cholesterol lowering drug, my total cholesterol dropped from 249 in March of last year (218 LDL and 31 HDL) to 107 total cholesterol (77 LDL and 30 HDL).

Ready for ski season!
